Targeted surveillance strategies for efficient detection of novel antibiotic resistance variants

Targeted surveillance strategies for efficient detection of novel antibiotic resistance variants

Genotype-based diagnostics for antibiotic resistance represent a promising alternative to empiric therapy, reducing inappropriate antibiotic use. However, because such assays infer resistance based on known genetic markers, their utility will wane with the emergence of novel resistance. Maintenance...
